National Bank of Romania has published the monetary indicators. At end-June 2017, broad money (M3) amounted to RON 321,759.6 million, up 0.1 percent (0.1 percent in real terms) month on month. In year-on-year comparison, broad money rose 9.0 percent (8.1 percent in real terms).
The EUR/RON exchange rate witnessed stronger fluctuations in the first half of 2017 Q1, before embarking on an almost constant uptrend. Its behavior, only partly correlated with that of the exchange rates of the main currencies in the region, reflected this time primarily the changes in investor sentiment vis-à-vis the local economy and financial market, brought about by domestic events/developments, and, to a smaller extent, the external influences.
